That was generally a good first quarter but here's my question: can someone please sort out Charlie Cameron?

    Please put a man on Rich.... he creates top much of their play and reads the ball too well to be left as a spare

    Joel Smith has dead set lost the plot.

    Would it actually hurt him to ****ibg stand next to Cameron!?

    According to the commentators Salem had Cameron for those goals and Smith has been shifted on to him after the third.

    Sort out the defence and we've got this. Commentators saying Salem had to be switched off Cameron

    A jittery first quarter from a few. Hope we settle.......and for Lever to not give up the ball.

    Keep going Dees

    We are in front, showing up the Lions defence. Getting beaten around the stoppages, and groundball in defensive 50 is a huge worry so far. Great to see Bowey step in for last 5 mins at ground level. Cover Cameron, we win.

    Need to start getting on top in clearances. And we need to start controlling the ground ball in defense because when it hits the deck we are all at sea.

    Hibbo in for Smith

    Having one of those moments you know where you ask yourself why why do I put myself through this. 

    all good now. Just needed a minute.

    That was frenetic.

    Gave up some silly goals though.

    I hope Tmac starts to get going. Cant afford him to have another poor game.

    Gee it made a difference when Oliver got going.

    Joel Smith was standing next to him just before the ball was bounced.

    Smith has zero football IQ and it's showing.

    Should have played Hibberd.

    Salem isn’t a lock down defender, so I agree with this.

    Not a chance in hell. Salem is there to make the play not take the best forward. It was Smith who went to him at the first bounce.

    Think Smith is getting blamed for others errors

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
